Faces of a Vanishing World


We're big admirers of the work of young Canadian photographer Joey Lawrence, the subject of tonight's ichannel documentary Faces of a Vanishing World at 9 pm ET/PT. Largely self-taught, he has assembled a formidable body of commercial work for the likes of Warner Bros. Records, NBC and Forbes Magazine. Tonight's doc, however, is about a much more personal project: his quest to capture and preserve images of endangered indigenous peoples in some of the world's most far-flung locales.

Joey's Web site showcases the very best of his personal and professional work. (The recently-posted "Halloween in Brooklyn" series is a highlight.) There's also a blog, and a neat little "GPS" feature. Give yourself a holiday treat today and check it out.
